Despite a slow start to the season, Austin Wells has shown signs of potential for the New York Yankees. While his batting average is low, he has displayed a strong eye at the plate with a high walk rate and low strikeout rate. Statcast data indicates he is making solid contact, projecting a better batting line than his current stats suggest. Wells has also been valuable defensively, with pitchers performing better when he is behind the plate. Despite his offensive struggles, the Yankees remain confident in Wells’ ability to turn his season around.
